Arctic Refuge: Caribou FAQs
Several species are known to prey on caribou. Wolves prey on caribou throughout theyear, but most frequently in the winter. Bears prey on caribou during spring, summer and fall. Golden eagles take young calves during the early summer, and lynx are abletokill calves in the fall when caribou migrate into forested areas. When snow is deep, wolverinesare sometimes able to kill caribou. Humans have hunted caribou for many thousands ofyears. ...

Pregnant caribou, and females with young calves, are especially sensitive to disturbancessuch as the presence of humans, vehicles and sounds*. This heightened sensitivity enablesfemales to avoid predators, which improves the chances of their young surviving. Studies showthat caribou move away from disturbances during the calving season. This could prevent cariboufrom using valuable areas of a calving ground, and result in increased mortality of young by predators. It can also prevent mothers from getting the most nutritious food, which in turn can lead to poor nutrition for them and their nursing calves. Displacement of caribou from preferredhabitats can result in crowded conditions in low-quality areas, making it even harder forcaribou to get proper nutrition. If normal growth and nutrition are reduced on the calvinggrounds, caribou will enter the winter without the fat reserves they need for survival, and females may not be able to produce calves the following spring. ...
